Surface Area of Prisms Cylinders Pyramids Cones and Spheres

Description

This easy-to-use lesson covering surface area and lateral surface area will be a breeze to prepare and contains a logical flow. A PowerPoint will guide your lesson while the students work through their notes. After each section of the PowerPoint, students will work through a practice page. There is an editable quiz option available. All answer keys are included.

The PowerPoint breaks the lesson into three parts:
Lateral and total surface area of prisms and cylinders.
Lateral and total surface area of pyramids, cones and spheres.
Lateral and total surface area of composite figures.

This resource contains surface area and lateral surface area notes on the following 3-D figures: Rectangular Prism, Triangular Prism, Square Pyramid, Triangular Pyramid, Cylinder, Cone and Sphere.

There are practice problems, a quiz and a PowerPoint that follows the lesson. The lesson comes with lesson plans and a Surface Area Formula Chart. Students will be asked to write a plan to find surface area in some cases. Students will walk away from this lesson with a better understanding of how the formulas are derived. Prerequisite skills include: Pythagorean Theorem, finding areas, working with pi, an understanding of nets and how to find arc length and sector area.

This resource is also in my Geometry Curriculum.
